Florida Bass Conservation Center Volunteer Program

On February 23, 2007, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) dedicated the new Florida Bass Conservation
Center (FBCC). Its overall mission is "To conduct and utilize
essential research to optimize production, stocking and recruitment
of Florida black basses, and to facilitate integrated conservation
management of Florida's freshwater fisheries resources." In
2009, it was awarded the Outstanding Sport Fish Restoration
Project of the Year, for infrastructure enhancements by the
American Fisheries Society.
